Oh yeah, Dropout actually has like... shows, which is the biggest difference here. I can spend $6 and see directly the impact that paying for the streaming service has too. Like I only care about a few things, but the production quality is top notch and they've got longform content comparable to like, actual stuff you see on TV in terms of entertainment and their production quality is much better than the average youtuber's. Which isn't ragging on yourtubers, just, they very well show that the money is being used to pay their people well and make their shows charming.

[@KMO325]

Man, don’t forget to also guilt everyone into supporting your Patreon too and tell them that the “better” “complete” version of the video you made will be only available through Patreon as having KZbin is now effectively a preview service for their content now instead of when it was free! And please lay on the guilt and gaslight as hard as possible!

[@nachgeben]

Man, in Watcher's case, they didn't even do that. They just randomly dropped a video yesterday going, "No more videos on KZbin! Pay $5.99 a month, or $59.99." But yours is also a common tactic of course lol I don't even mind the Patreon thing. But Watcher is pretending like they have a huge spread of channels that would make them effectively like Netflix Lite. Their content is incredible, but it's still pretty light, with only three of their shows being worth watching by the numbers. Personally, I only enjoy two of the three. They just aren't in a position where this dream is viable for them.

​@@th3_r4t_k1ngTBF there isn't much hard evidence it was Stevens idea.. however the fact they announced this at the same time as announcing his stupidly expensive show about eating stupidly expensive food getting relaunched says something. Also he is the CEO of the company which they mention a lot in their podcast. And it was him who said "anyone can afford $6 a month!” I imagine the other two just really believed in him as a business man and a friend. I'm glad they've all backpedaled, I do really like Watcher as a channel, Steven included.

I’ll know I’ve made it as a KZbinr when Man makes a video making fun of one of my bad decisions

[@GippyHappy]

Watcher boys ain’t never gonna live this one down

[@lasercraft32]

Man Carrying Thing thought he was talking about KZbinrs... But in actuality, he's talking about Nintendo Online. XD

That ending got a rare audible humor reaction noise out of me.

Cannot wait to get my credit card out. $60 a month is a steal!

@@captainmidnight well, you sure won't get any from that awful book of yours that not even your lackeys bother to read 🤣

[@Pixelcraftian]

Don't know why this video has a paywall, did anyone else have that?

I like how it's been like one day and there's already a ton of people making fun of Watcher for their backwards logic streaming service lol
